About Sodium/Tea-Undecylenoyl Alginate
Sodium/Tea-Undecylenoyl Alginate is a mixture of the triethanolamine salt and sodium salt of the condensation product of undecylenic acid chloride and alginic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help keep emulsions of water and oil from separating easily, to reduce hair tangling and rough feel for smoother conditioning, and to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[3] In Europe, it may be used at up to 2.5% in leave-on products, while no separate maximum concentration is set for rinse-off products. Nitrosamines must also be no more than 50 μg/kg.[2]
